German manufacturer of gasket and stamped parts Schlösser has ordered an AlphaShaft slitter rewinder to improve the quality and productivity of its slitting department.
Schlösser’s product range covers more than 10,000 different parts from 1,200 different materials and the new machine has to slit them all. Alpha Converting has customised it to meet this need for flexibility and efficient job changes.
The new AlphaShaft has an integral unwind with retracting splice table. The slitting station has a fully automatic knife setting system and is equipped with both shear slitting and crush slitting. Razor slitting is also available in place of the shear slitting knives – the webs are then separated prior to winding on the rewind shaft.
The rewind has independent centre and surface drive motors combined with servo controlled linear tracking enabling every material to be wound under the optimum conditions.
